What happens to a dream deceased?
Does it get buried under six feet of dirt?
Or crack like a pipe--
And leak?
Does it stick to your shoe like a peice of gum?
Or does it frost and crystal over--
like a winter pond?

Maybe it just leans--
Like a telephone pole.

Or does it decompose?

This is a poem based off of Langston Hughe's "Dream Deferred" I based it off of that poetry style.
